is this tablet really as clumsy as all the reviewers say? or is it manageable?

NO....i do not feel it is. i have lugged around 15 inch laptop which is heavier and with top and bottom pieces much more bulky. i put the plastic film to protect it. have a small 14 or so inch carry bag until i can find the leather holder/stand. i would never trade it for any apple products. might buy one if they ever got big enough. it runs on ice cream sandwich.. but i am sure it will eventually be upgraded.

It closes like a clam shell. The laptop can do all; however, I'm getting older and find the screen size a bit small. Consider buying a larger tablet. Also, I rarely use the tablet without the keyboard; which leads me to think a laptop is more functional.

The iPad doesn't move around at all though I'm not pressing that hard on the device that would make it move. For extensive typing though (i.e. eBay listings) I would recommend using a Bluetooth keyboard.

Yeah, but it is a delicate device, mine broke after I dropped it on carpet. Other than that, you won't find a faster tablet on the market. Definitely better than the new ipads

It is fine, but I would get a kindle fire. The tablet we have is very slow. Not sure why, but rarely use anymore. Bought a kindle fire he and love it. No comparison.

I've not had that problem. The adjustable back support with gripper pad and the notches for the tablet to sit in on the base, make it very stable. Love it. Use it daily.

With any new device, there is a learning curve. I use my tablet mostly for reading books; however I also do email, Twitter, internet searches, almost anything I would use a laptop for. While it may not have all the features of a more expensive model, with a little patience, I have learned to do a lot with this less expensive model. Be patient, it isn't that difficult.

Yes. Also the touch screen is very clumsy and non-responsive. You can tap-tap-tap and it will not do anything... then suddenly it will do something completely unexpected. I finally just gave mine away. It's really sad because the Key Ingredient site is really nice to use. I thought about buying a new one.. since mine was over a year old; but I am afraid it will be the same as the old one... so I didn't do it.

I have it, its my first foray into the tablet market. Been on laptops for the last 10 years and pcs before that. For an entry tab its freakin awesome. Especially at the price point, and considering the bugginess of honeycomb I am actually betting on the android community having a better version of froyo just for this tab.

I haven't had any issues with it, but I'm not using it super frequently. I have found that I like to leave it in tablet mode quite a bit since it doesn't have the keys on the bottom like the Yoga.

Yes & Yes I haven't had any problem with it at all. A great tablet. The new windows 8.1 has thousands of aaps.

Very stable. As long as the base is on a reasonably level surface, the stand holds the tablet in any position or slant that I put it in, and I can swipe, tap and type with no problem.

It's not so much thick or heavy but I'd consider putting a little more money with it and get a better quality tablet. I now have a Samsung which cost more but well worth the investment.

Mine has the same specs as yours, and it's very laggy. To be completely honest, I wish I would have spent a little more for a better tablet.

You may receive different opinions about this tablet. My experience with this device has been very positive. I saved money and have been able to use the device without troubles. I have even dropped the tablet multiple times until I finally bought a case to keep it in. I primarily use my tablet as a Bible to quickly find chapters and versus much faster than most people can look them up in the Bible itself. Enjoy ...
